          Crystal Ballers is a semi-weekly podcast hosted by mystics Natasha Levinger and Britten LaRue. Inspired by Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, it’s space to celebrate the audacity to create our Future now. In a world that minimizes the subjective experience, it takes swagger to validate our dreams, desires, and visions in co-creation with the unseen, the unexplainable, and the felt. Britten and Natasha invite listeners into the concept of "skilled feelership" - the practice of honoring and developing one's intuitive abilities as a skill, rather than seeing it as a fixed trait. They explore the reclamation of feminine power, intuitive development, and the collective shift happening in 2025 and beyond. Crystal Ballers’ primary goal is to support listeners in staying present to their power no matter what astrological and energetic shifts are present.

          • Quoting Charlie Kirk's own words is viewed as hate speech

          • How the reaction from those in power can be triggering or soothing for narcissistic abuse survivors

          • No, really: Joy is resistance

          • Your expression of who you are is not just for you; it feeds joy and resistance in others

          • This all had to be exposed; and now we can come at it with truth

          • Call your representatives!

          • "Teeth, pee, jammies, bed!"

          • A powerful message from one of Natasha's dragon guides

          • Showing up as yourself has a powerful effect on both you and others

          • The little moments are everything; you speak through all the little moments

                                                        Crystal Ballers is a weekly podcast hosted by mystics Natasha Levinger and Britten LaRue. Inspired by Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, it’s space to celebrate the audacity to create our Future now. In a world that minimizes the subjective experience, it takes swagger to validate our dreams, desires, and visions in co-creation with the unseen, the unexplainable, and the felt. Britten and Natasha invite listeners into the concept of "skilled feelership" - the practice of honoring and developing one's intuitive abilities as a skill, rather than seeing it as a fixed trait. They explore the reclamation of feminine power, intuitive development, and the collective shift happening in 2025 and beyond. With weekly episodes and monthly guests, Crystal Ballers’ primary goal is to support listeners in staying present to their power no matter what astrological and energetic shifts are present.
